Honestly, this match up favors Denver. The big reason that I don't think the Seahawks are going to do all that well against them is because of how their offense is playing. You've got Lynch who's going to do well and that's about the only guarantee. Wilson has the ability to run around but he hasn't played extremely well as of late. I don't view the offense as threatening and the Broncos D has been stepping it up in the playoffs so far.

Everyone's going to talk about the Broncos offense vs the Seahawks defense. Truth is the Seahawks haven't faced anyone with an offense like the Broncos or a QB like Peyton. You could throw in Drew Brees and Andrew Luck, who they're 2-1 against. But the games against the Saints were in Seattle while against Indy was on the road. They lost on the road where they're definitely a different team.

As a defense, they only played one team who was ranked top 10 offensively in New Orleans (in PPG). And honestly, they haven't played that many teams that have that many weapons offensively. You can get away with shutting down Jimmy Graham when Brees basically has his choices between Marquis Colston and Kenny Stills with a mediocre run game. But how are you going to stop the Broncos weapons? There's too many...

If you shut down Demaryius Thomas then you take away a lot of the deep routes, which Denver's fine with because Peyton doesn't throw deep downfield anyways. You can try to shut down Julius Thomas, but that still leaves a lot of short routes open for Welker. Try to shut down Welker and visa versa with JT. Try to shut them both down and Decker's open in the middle routes. Try all four of them and Manning will just dump it to Moreno and pick up an easy 8.

The best thing the Seahawks can try to do is to blitz Manning constantly to hurry his throws and hopefully force some mistakes. Either way, the Broncos also have a decent run game to compliment the passing game.

This game favors the Broncos and there's no way to see it otherwise. I've got the Broncos winning 24-14.

I'd buy the Denver one now if I could only find the right XLVIII patch. All patches are bootlegs, since the NFL doesn't sell the official ones. I'm too picky, though. I want them to be as authentic as possible, iah. So far, the ones online are too inaccurate.

These two are the best ones out, right now. The first one has a silver outline, though, instead of black; and the second one doesn't have the NFL logo inside the Lombardi trophy.

I'm mad as fuck, imo. I wish they sold the official ones. They don't make them embroidered anymore, they're like silicone, or some shit.

Deli what bout making one in photoshop or whatever n running it thru a 3d printer??

I've thought about doing that -- taking the vector logo to a print shop and getting one embroidered. Them places usually make you get them in bulk, though. I could just sell the rest of the patches online, like everyone else, but I'm too lazy to go through the process of shipping them.
